StoryTalks: Stay At Home Season

Hear from the UK's storytelling experts and learn how they use creative writing techniques to produce award-winning content

Watch StoryTalks: Graphic Novels (archive recording) from Tuesday 26 May at 8pm UK time until Tuesday 2 June at 8pm.

Polarbear is joined by two of the country’s most exciting and talented graphic novelists, Joff Winterhart (Driving Short distances – Penguin Books) and Katriona Chapman (Follow me in – Avery Hill).

Together they discuss their inspiration, and how they are breaking new ground in their use of graphics and storytelling to create 3-dimensional work for this ever popular medium.

StoryTalks: Stay At Home Season

Our physical libraries may be closed but we have archive live events that we will be sharing with you to watch from the comfort of your own home.

From Glastonbury, BBC Radio 1 and the Royal Shakespeare Company, in the StoryTalks season of exclusive work, Steven Camden (Polarbear), one of the most respected spoken word artists and authors in the UK and internationally, hosts this full programme.

Filmed last year at our Exeter Library, these discussions give you a chance to learn more about using creative writing techniques to produce award-winning content.

StoryTalks is programmed as part of Evolve, a new and imaginative programme of events and artworks within Devon’s Libraries delivered by Libraries Unlimited in partnership with artists and communities and funded by Arts Council England.

This original season was livestreamed across the country as part of the British Library’s Living Knowledge Network (of which Exeter Library is a member), and StoryTalks: Stage, Screen and Page event was livestreamed directly into the British Library.

You will be able to watch the StoryTalks Stay At Home Season via YouTube for free for one week. Subscribe to our YouTube channel.
